WACO, Texas (AP) — Nina Davis scored 31 points, Alexis Prince added 16 points and a career-high 11 rebounds, and No. 3 Baylor stretched its winning streak to 22 games with an 89-66 victory over Oklahoma on Wednesday night.
The Lady Bears (23-1, 12-0 Big 12) matched defending national champion UConn for the longest current winning streak with a dominating performance against the conference’s second-place team.
Davis scored 12 points with two three-point plays in a 20-0 run early in the game and Baylor led throughout. The sophomore post player, the league’s top scorer at 21 points per game coming in, had 20 by halftime to match the Sooners’ total at that point.
Oklahoma (15-8, 9-3) dropped three games behind the Lady Bears in the Big 12 standings with six league games remaining. Peyton Little, a sophomore transfer from Texas A&M, had 22 points with five 3-pointers to lead the Sooners.
